Those final X strokes are pure ASMR and satisfying to watch. A true master at work!

[@ronelljones3327]

Thx for posting, what type stone is that?

[@JapaneseNaturalStones]

Yes He finished with Mejiro and with almost water at last and all 50/50 :)

[@Tjarven]

Great feeling.

[@JLWconcept]

What kind of stone/grit is best for keeping an edge on a Iwasaki Kamisori?

[@MasterofPlay7]

JLWconcept well it needs a progression of stones with different grit, but you can do the one stone honing using just a natural jnat (diluting the slurry) like what he did on the video

[@shellshock10]

@@MasterofPlay7what are the white stones he uses for the slurry?

[@MasterofPlay7]

@@shellshock10 mikawa nagura, the one he used is botan variety

[@Razorlovestones]

Maksim can you tell me why he used tape on this Kamisori ? Do they also tend now to put tape on their Kamisoris ?

[@MasterofPlay7]

+Sebastian E. lmao that's not tape, that's the jigane cladding

[@Razorlovestones]

+MasterofPlay7 thanks looked again ;-)

[@MasterofPlay7]

Sebastian E. np bro, i wonder why weren't more videos being posted about iwasaki, is he dead or he's still alive and well?

[@tommynguyen8271]

that laugh at 2:42 is amazing!

[@MasterofPlay7]

whos laughing?

[@JapaneseNaturalStones]

No, Nakayama

[@RobertOrtiz1015]

The x strokes didn't seem 50/50 ... He was doing the entire stone on one side and about half a stroke on the othe aide of blade

[@MasterofPlay7]

yea his honing technique is bad, the edge he finish off that slurry will not be a good shave

[@Greyswyndir]

@@MasterofPlay7 - His technique isn't bad. This is a single beveled razor, one side is perfectly flat, hence the circles. The other side is the cutting edge. You have to sharpen them differently then western razors.

[@Tusc9969]

@@Greyswyndir Exactly!!

[@MasterofPlay7]

only botan and he didn't let the slurry break down.....

[@solomonsfumble7454]

No dumb dumbs. He's using mejiro.

[@MasterofPlay7]

+ISIS 9191 yea I heard it, but this old man knows nothing about honing razor. Slurry makes your edge less sharp and adds cutting power to your base stone, I always finish with plain water

[@MasterofPlay7]

JohnReviewer112 the quality of base stone matters, you seems know nothing. Dealers sell you razor people inferior stones and compensate by selling your nagura so it has some cutting power. All brilliant marketing schemes to make more sales

[@Greyswyndir]

@@MasterofPlay7 - It's not a marketing scheme man, Japanese barbers have been sharpening razors with an Awasedo (finishing stone for kamisori/razors) for a very long time. The honzan is very hard (level 4.0-5.0), and using nagura in a progression has been the way for literally hundreds of years. You don't need a bunch of expensive synthetic stones to hone a razor. All you need is a good bevel setter, synthetic or natural, a good, hard, finishing stone, and some nagura stones plus a tomo nagura for final finish. You'll pay less money for that setup then you will for five, high quality synthetic stones. It feels like someone scammed you, and now you're bitter towards the Japanese.

[@MasterofPlay7]

@@Greyswyndir he didn't use nagura progression, is only a botan, you've been scammed
